Orchard Community Garden

About the Garden

Orchard Community Garden is a beautification and community-building project in North Salt Lake. Our mission is to continue fostering community relationships through sustainable agriculture and shared education.

The garden includes twenty larger plots (8x4) and seven smaller plots (4x4). Each plot is watered by an automatic drip system. The water supply is maintained by the city, but each plot user must maintain their own drip system. The water will be turned on each year beginning April 15th.

Each plot user is responsible for maintaining their plot, preparing the soil, planting, weeding, and end-of-season cleanup.

First, residents who have rented plots in prior years and are current on their reservation fee and have paid the plot fee by the April 1st, ranked by seniority.

Second, residents who have not rented in the immediate prior season but who have applied for a plot and paid the required fee before April 1st of each year.

Third, non- residents who have rented plots in prior years and are current on their reservation fee and have paid the plot fee by the April 15th, ranked by seniority.

Fourth, non- residents who have not rented in the immediate prior season but who have applied for a plot and paid the required fee before April 15th of each year.

Please make your reservation now for a community garden plot in person at City Hall.
